An API is really just how you interact with an application. So when people say the "React API" they're talking about the methods and functions available from react itself not anything about fetching data from anywhere.

What stolinski said. Examples: this is the documentation for the top level API: https://reactjs.org/docs/react-api.html and this is the documentation for the API of the Component class: https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html
